| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
I will investigate a question that connects contemporary Japanese political history to the global Cold War: how did global models of leadership and statecraft inform Japanese political elites during the height of the Cold War? Focusing on the role of foreign ideas and models in discourses and statements among important actors in Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party in the 1950s and early 1960s, I will examine the formative role of foreign models on the leadership and ideology of LDP figures who shaped Japan’s national politics in the decades after World War II.
